The buck stops with your company when payroll tax missteps occur. If the IRS finds an error, it falls to your company to correct the defect and pay the price of costly penalties. And, if you use an outside payroll service company to manage things for you, your company could still be held liable as a result of their missteps.

HR professionals have a lot of information to keep track of from federal and state income taxes withheld from pay, FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes, federal unemployment taxes, and state unemployment taxes. How can you ensure that your payroll taxes are paid properly and on time, and/or avoid having too many mistakes?

Join us for our webinar when an employment attorney/HR consultant and a CPA will explain how to mitigate payroll tax legal risks and avoid a situation where your organization is stuck paying those annoying and downright costly payroll tax penalties.

You’ll learn how to:

Ensure that you have gathered the correct data for evaluating whether payroll tax practices could present legal liabilities for your company

Keep careful and correct payroll records

Correctly classify workers—from employees to independent contractors

Make payroll tax payments on time—and avoid fees

Avoid paying creditors before paying the IRS—and why a buffer fund is important

Question your outside payroll service provider to ensure that their practices don’t spark legal liabilities for your company

Spot and fix payroll tax errors in a way that reduces your company’s exposure to costly penalties

Monitor your tax account to ensure that payments are being made correctly and on time

And much more!
